The wind would be a lot stronger. Idk about strong enough to make earth uninhabitable. You wouldn’t get things like land hurricanes because you still need warm ocean water for that. Tornados would probably be a lot more frequent
There are so many old myths and legends about dead giants making hills and mountains

If you’re a nature lover, then you know just how calming the outdoors can be. That’s why it can be beneficial to carry a piece of Mother Nature with us, especially when we’re surrounded by four walls. Luckily, Etsy shop Teeny Tiny Planet preserves real, dried flowers in elegant, mini glass bottles. These pieces are then attached to antique charms and luminous crystals to make a truly enchanting, one-of-a-kind terrarium necklace that’s reminiscent of the comforting woodland world.
“My true love has always been the little things in Nature,” explains teenytinyplanet’s owner. To see the designer’s delicate creations for yourself, you can visit her Etsy store. (Source)
You will meet many types of people in your life. You will meet delicate flowers, raging oceans, quiet forests, towering mountains, and colourful skies. You will meet thunderstorms, you will meet lightning. They will knock you down, they will leave you breathless. You will meet sunrises, you will meet gardens. They will give you light, they will take you on adventures. Explore them. Get lost with them. They all have something to teach you.
Reblog if you want to people to come into your inbox and tell you what type of person you are to them - gardens? a sea storm? a sunrise that is brilliant and bold, or a sunrise that that is soft and pale with mist and promise? anything or everything…

While she mostly focuses on still life and nature photography, she has a series of hilarious self-portraits involving random costumes and staged falls.” (x)

man the Appalachian mountains really aren’t shit huh
The Rockies are new, young and virile and fresh from the Laramide orogeny, tall and lanky teenagers on the geological scale.
the Appalachian mountains are old, formed hundreds of millions of years ago before dinosaurs walked the Earth. They are ancients, elders, witnesses to half a billion years of life coming and going.
To be tall is not a virtue. To be small is not a sin. The Appalachians are eroding under the weight of time, slowly shrinking and returning to the Earth from which they sprang.
Appreciate them while they are still here.
I do want to say real quick again about the age of the Appalachians…
They said “before dinosaurs,” but we have a cave here that began forming between 450 million to 550 million years ago.
There are no bones in that cave. No fossils. No nothing.
That’s because this cave began forming before bones existed on land, and had only just started to exist in the ocean. Shellfish hadn’t evolved yet. Limestone, which forms many caves, was just starting to become a more prevalent rock.
The mountains aren’t older than dinosaurs. They are older than bones.
see that little lump up at the top of minnesota? the sawtooth mountains? so small most places would just call them hills?
those are over a billion years old.
that’s why they’re so small. they’re the last ancient remnants of a lava flow 5 miles thick. the lava didn’t kill any dinosaurs. or any fish. or any animals at all. because there were no animals. you know what there was?
algae.
those mountains were 5 miles tall when the most advanced life on earth was algae.
so i’m just gonna go ahead and keep calling them mountains, even though all you need to climb them is hiking shoes and a nice afternoon. because a place where you can crouch down and touch basalt that was lava before leaves were invented deserves some respect.
“life is old here, older than the trees. Younger than the mountains, growing like a breeze.”
